Marketing is like ringing a bell. The first metallic strike breaks the silence and demands attention. The pleasant vibrations, crashing in waves, are calls for constant focus. Once the sound fades, echos of the sound trace in a person's mind. Forgetting fantastic marketing is like unringing a bell: impossible.

James is an IT geek with a passion for the written word. Beyond being part of fiction writing groups, he regularly competes in writing competitions. James checks every piece through filters he has created, along with multiple runs through Grammarly.

His biggest influence in content creation has been Sol Stein, who powerfully illustrates the economy of words. This practice of reduction is more than switching from passive to active voice. Sol Stein shows bold methods of cutting that leave the piece stronger.

Summary of Product Experience

Brochure

Within this project James created a number of brochures for patient use. Most of these brochures helped patients as an introduction to the clinic's online portal. This particular task was not only writing the specific verbiage, but also working on a design layout that was both professional and easy to read. To that end, James went with a mix of frequently asked questions and generic information.
